We had a request for a fundraising thread, to support 'good causes', so to keep things tidy, this thread is reserved as the only place on BSN where fundraising causes may be highlighted. A few disclaimers: For fundraisers:- Make sure that whatever cause or project you are promoting is linked and referenced so that people can check its authenticity.
- It is down to you to make sure that local laws are complied with, including the fundraising cause itself, fundraising methods and data collection.
- None of the forum administrators, moderators, or ProBoards, are responsible for the legality or credibility of your fundraising causes or projects.
- The moderators may remove fundraising causes or projects that get reported as inappropriate.
- Direct messaging forum members is not an acceptable method of promoting a fundraiser.
For those supporting fundraiser causes or projects- Handing over money to anyone on the internet carries risk, both financial and in terms of your data security.
- Satisfy yourself that any cause or project you are considering supporting is credible and authentic, by independently checking linked content.
- None of the forum administrators, moderators, or ProBoards, are responsible for any decisions you make about financial support you offer to anyone.
- The moderators will look at and consider removing any fundraising causes or projects that get reported as inappropriate.
Having got the disclaimers out of the way, we hope that legitimate fundraisers may help some people out.

Thanks for this, mod squad. I'll kick things off... This fall, as I have been doing for the last five years, I am participating in a Children's Miracle Network event called Extra Life. This is an annual, 25-hour video and tabletop game marathon in support of Children's Miracle Network hospitals. The way it works is, each gamer registers for the hospital they wish to play for, collects donations, and then on game day we play for 25 hours straight! It's just like a bike-a-thon or walk-a-thon, and 100% of funds raised through Extra Life go directly to the hospital. Game day this year is November 5, but I like to get started early. I will be playing for the Stollery Children's Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta. The Stollery provides specialized, first-rate care to kids from all over the place - last year, when I spoke with their Extra Life rep, she told me that 50% of their inpatients come from outside Alberta. They have services like a cardiac ICU and one of the only pediatric emergency rooms in Canada. For more information on the Stollery's services, and how they spend donations, you can check out their 2015-2016 annual report, which is linked in the slideshow at the top of their webpage (for some reason, I can't get a direct link to post here). On game day, I'll be streaming, and will post more info on that closer to the event. If you read this far, I salute you. If you're interested in donating, please visit my Children's Miracle Network-hosted fundraising page. If you are interested in registering for Extra Life yourself, click here. If you are interested in donating and live outside of the U.S., please be aware that all donations made through the CMN website are processed in U.S. dollars, so be sure to Google a currency calculator so that there are no surprises on your end and you can ensure that you donate the exact amount you want. Since my hospital is located in Canada, it will receive whatever the equivalent amount is in Canadian dollars. Thanks for reading. If you have any questions, please PM me.

Heads up! I will be streaming Destiny's new raid tonight starting around 9:45 p.m. EST. Come watch us run around like chickens with our heads cut off as my clan goes into the raid completely blind! To watch, click here. If you like what you see, or just feel sorry for us since we're grossly underleveled for what we are attempting, please consider making a donation to the Children's Miracle Network by way of Extra Life, by clicking here. Thanks for reading!

Curious about Destiny's new raid? Tonight (Friday, Oct. 21), starting around 8pm EST, myself and some of my clanmates will be running with two people who haven't had the opportunity to play Wrath of the Machine yet. Which means we'll be explaining encounters in-depth, leading people to loot both obvious and hidden, and generally having a good time. Join the fun tonight at 8!
Edit: whoa, I didn't know typing in my channel link would embed it! Cool stuff.

Final update before Game Day, if anyone's still reading! I am just $396 shy of my $1500 fundraising goal. This is AWESOME. If I make my goal by 12am on Saturday, Nov. 5, I will dye my hair blue for game day and post pics here and on my Extra Life page! So if that sounds like something fun to you, please consider supporting a good cause. Thanks again for reading.

Stop wasting my time.
You know what I want.
You know what I need.
Or maybe you don't.
Do I have to come right flat out and tell you everything?
Gimme some money,
gimme some money.
